In Memory of our Sadiegirl

-Jim and Gail Ehrhorn from Livermore, CAPet Name: Sadie

For the last 14 months our Sadie was treated through the Oncology Department. All the doctors and staff were so supportive and caring. When it came time to put her down, they had a room quiet room for us to be with her. We highly recommend anyone who is looking to have their animal taken care of in a supportive and loving manner VCA Bay Area Veterinary Specialties & Emergency Hospital. We thank each of you for the care she received from your hospital.

Thank You

-Frances from Castro Valley, CAPet Name: Halle

I am so grateful for all the great care BAVS gave my puppy, not to mention that everyone I met was so nice. I can't imagine taking my pets anywhere else in the event of an emergency. Thanks again!

Willie is a miracle

-Sue from Kentfield, CAPet Name: Willie

Willie's primary care veterinarian (AJ Kallet, VCA Madera Pet Hospital Corte Madera) discovered an anal sac carcinoma during a routine physical in January, 2012. Dr Kallet referred me to Bay Area Veterinary Specialists when he got the cancer diagnosis from the lab. Willie was seen immediately by Oncologist Dr. Cecile Siedlecki and her staff. Because of their wonderful care, Willie is with me four years later. Willie has undergone surgery, radiation and chemotherapy with little discomfort and wonderful success.
He is happy, active and runs in agility competitions four years after the cancer was discovered. Willie has an excellent quality of life.
I recommend Dr. Siedlecki and the VCA BAVS team without hesitation.

VCA Rocks

-Louie from Alameda, CAPet Name: Louie

My name is Louie, and I'm my pet parents pride and joy. Last night I got very sick. The folks at VCA Emergency San Leandro were extra nice to me and my mom and dad. I love the staff and I hope I never have to come back, but if I do I know they will take good care of me.
Your biggest fan,
Louie

THANK YOU

-Phil N from San Leandro, CAPet Name: Madison

Thank you for the kind, caring, compassionate treatment that I received when my sweetie pie, Madison passed away. You were respectful, gentle, considerate of the way I was feeling. But most importantly you treated my little Madison as a member of my family...and yours. Thank you again, all of you are angels.
